reason for going bigger? Its not gonna look much more aggressive then you have now. You may need to adjust your camber some more for wider tires unless you have plenty of clearance. 325 or 335 is probably the widest you wanna go. For a 345 tire, Michelin website shows 11.5" width is the smallest you should put it on. Their 325/30/19 is $918/tire....enjoy

I have the Mich PSS 325/30-19 on 19x12 rims. Thats about perfect for that tire.

Im in the market for new tires and I just wanted to know what the widest I can put on my rim is all. maybe if it gives it a different look or even a noticeable difference at all or just a slight subtle change.

Even if subtle... after all a lot of the mods we do to the 370z are subtle but make big differences and all the "right" mods together make the most dramatic.

we have seen wheel spacers, blacking out some parts of the exterior, lowering extreme to mild and even stretched tires with the right stance. so im just looking into it to just for ***** and giggles.

I guess I will be the guinea pig and test this out myself
